Kiersey Clemons Reprises Her Role as Iris West From JUSTICE LEAGUE in THE FLASH

Warner Bros. has cast Kiersey Clemons in DC’s The Flash movie and will star opposite Ezra Miller in the movie. The actress will reprise her role as Iris West from Justice League. What’s interesting about this casting news is that she was actually cut out of Joss Whedon’s version of the film. However, she will appear in Zack Snyder’s Justice League. It’s pretty cool that WB is binging her back for The Flash.

Clemons will also join Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton, who are both reprising their Batman roles in the film. Then there’s also Sasha Calle (The Young and the Restless), who has been cast as Supergirl.

It director Andy Muschietti is directing the film from a screenplay written by Christina Hodson. Barbara Muschietti and Michael Disco are producing.

This movie is going to break open the DC multiverse, and the director previously teased "all that you've seen exists." The Flash will see Barry Allen "breaking the bonds of physics to crash into various parallel dimensions, where he’ll encounter slightly different versions of DC’s classic heroes."

The director previously explained things a little further regarding how this new DC Multiverse is actually going to work in The Flash, saying:

"This movie is a bit of a hinge in the sense that it presents a story that implies a unified universe where all the cinematic iterations that we’ve seen before are valid. It’s inclusive in the sense that it is saying all that you’ve seen exists, and everything that you will see exists, in the same unified multiverse."

He went on to share:

"I will tell you is that it's a ride. It's going to be fun and exciting and there are a lot of DC characters in it. Flash is the superhero of this film because he is the bridge between all of these characters and timelines. And in a way, it restarts everything and doesn't forget anything."

The director also previously explained that the film will be a time travel story, saying:

“His mother was murdered, his father was trained and incarcerated, and all his journey from then was a man trying to make things right…the script really capture his loquacity, his personality…he’s someone who has the power of changing events of the past, but by doing so, can deteriorate the very fabric of the space-time continuum.”

The movie will begin shooting in London in April and it’s scheduled to open on November 4th, 2022.
